Las universidades participantes incluyen los tres tipos principales de universidades en Chile: estatales, privadas con aporte estatal (conocidas también como G9) y privadas sin aporte estatal. Respondieron la encuesta, de manera completa, 1.258 académicos y académicas. Se presentan aquí, descriptivamente, los resultados de los siguientes módulos de la encuesta: distribución del tiempo de los académicos en las diversas funciones universitarias, características de la labor de docencia, características del trabajo de investigación y perfil de las actividades de vinculación con el medio. También se informan los resultados de la experiencia de los académicos en etapas formativas de sus carreras: profesores instructores y asistentes. Los principales resultados sugieren que la docencia de pregrado sigue siendo la labor central de los académicos en todos los tipos de universidades, que una cuarta parte del tiempo se dedica a la gestión, que los modos de producción de conocimiento, con altos niveles de colaboración nacional e internacional, enfatizan la publicación de artículos en revistas por sobre otras formas de comunicación científica, y que los vínculos con el medio privilegian, como socios, a otras universidades, al gobierno y a las ONG, en desmedro de la empresa privada. También aparece que los apoyos de las universidades a sus académicos, en etapas formativas, son aún incipientes.

A Review on Pancreatic Lipase Inhibitors from Natural Sources: A Potential Target for Obesity

Background: Obesity is a worldwide lifestyle disorder and its incidence is growing at an alarming rate. Pancreatic lipase (PL) plays a key role in lipid metabolism and hence is a potential target for obesity treatment. There have been reports that many bioactive compounds from natural sources constitute a vast pool of PL inhibitors. Objective: In search of natural pancreatic lipase inhibitors, the review summarizes the potential of natural products for their pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity. Methods: : In this review, the data obtained from literature search of various electronic databases and journal article publications have been reviewed. Results: The pancreatic lipase inhibitory activities of 61 biological sources reviewed in this paper are backed by preclinical experimental evidence, either in vivo or in vitro. Conclusion: This article can be used as a ready-to-use reference for therapeutic lead molecules from plants, marine and insect-derived natural products with PL inhibitory activity. The research is more focused on the discovery of more ingenious pancreatic lipase inhibitors with lesser consequences.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) on Road Infrastructure Projects: a Systematic Mapping Study

LCA has been utilized over the past two decades to estimate the environmental impacts of pavement in infrastructures. The purpose of this study is to systematically map research on the use of LCA to calculate energy and emissions in road infrastructure projects. The research method is carried out by a literature review, in terms of systematic mapping study of a number of previous scientific publications, in the form of documents that have been published in international and national journals and proceedings, etc., in the last thirty years. The results show that: The topic of LCA is still an interesting area of research, and the trend from year to year shows an increase in the publication of articles in reputable journals. As much as 57.8% research, using the process based calculation method. Only 15.6% of research calculated energy and emissions in the four completed stages of the project life cycle. As much as 37.5% research compared the flexible and rigid pavement as research objects. There is a chance to research the development of the energy optimization model for road infrastructure projects using cradle to cradle system boundary, from initiation to the end of life as a whole project life cycle.

Alphabetical ordering of author surnames in academic publishing: A detriment to teamwork.

In academia, many institutions use journal article publication productivity for making decisions on tenure and promotion, funding grants, and rewarding stellar scholars. Although non-alphabetical sequencing of article coauthoring by the spelling of surnames signals the extent to which a scholar has contributed to a project, many disciplines in academia follow the norm of alphabetical ordering of coauthors in journal publications. By assessing business academic publications, this study investigates the hypothesis that author alphabetical ordering disincentivizes teamwork and reduces the overall quality of scholarship. To address our objectives, we accessed data from 21,353 articles published over a 20-year period across the four main business subdisciplines. The articles selected are all those published by the four highest-ranked journals (in each year) and four lower-ranked journals (in each year) for accounting, business technology, marketing, and organizational behavior. Poisson regression and binary logistic regression were utilized for hypothesis testing. This study finds that, although team size among business scholars is increasing over time, alphabetical ordering as a convention in journal article publishing disincentivizes author teamwork. This disincentive results in fewer authors per publication than for publications using contribution-based ordering of authors. Importantly, article authoring teamwork is related to article quality. Specifically, articles written by a single author typically are of lesser quality than articles published by coauthors, but the number of coauthors exhibits decreasing returns to scale-coauthoring teams of one to three are positively related to high-quality articles, but larger teams are not. Alphabetical ordering itself, however, is positively associated with quality even though it inhibits teamwork, but journal article coauthoring has a greater impact on article quality than does alphabetical ordering. These findings have important implications for academia. Scholars respond to incentives, yet alphabetical ordering of journal article authors conflicts with what is beneficial for the progress of academic disciplines. Based on these findings, we recommend that, to drive the highest-quality research, teamwork should be incentivized-all fields should adopt a contribution-based journal article author-ordering convention and avoid author ordering based upon the spelling of surnames. Although this study was undertaken using articles from business journals, its findings should generalize across all academia.

Editorial Introduction: Exploring policy diffusion, collaborative governance, and policy conflict

Do senior faculty members produce fewer research publications than their younger colleagues? Evidence from Ph.D. granting institutions in the United States

The aging of the professoriate throughout the end of the twentieth century and the early years of the 2000′s (both before and after the end of mandatory retirement in the United States, ca. 1994) has become a source of concern for some scholars and research administrators, who posit that the “greying” of the academy results in lower research activity and a decline in scientific advancement. Some published opinions concur that senior scholars’ research programs do not keep pace with those of their younger colleagues, but little quantitative evidence has been presented to evaluate that claim. In this study, we quantify senior faculty publication activity in six broad fields, comparing their publication rates to their younger colleagues across four modes of knowledge dissemination: journal articles, conference proceedings, books, and book chapters. Career publication activity does not follow the “peak and decline” pattern described in earlier studies. In most fields, journal article publication rates do not decline substantively with age (and in some cases article publication rates are higher among senior scholars), conference proceeding publication rates tend to decline with age, while book and chapter publication rates increase markedly with age. Overall, senior scholars maintain publishing activity levels and tend to shift their focus to the development and evolution of ideas through the publication of longer-format works as books and book chapters.

Israel Denial: Anti-Zionism, Anti-Semitism,&the Faculty Campaign Against the Jewish State by Cary Nelson

Reviewed by: Israel Denial: Anti-Zionism, Anti-Semitism, & the Faculty Campaign Against the Jewish State by Cary Nelson Richard L. Cravatts Israel Denial: Anti-Zionism, Anti-Semitism, & the Faculty Campaign Against the Jewish State. By Cary Nelson. Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2019. 658 pages. $17.99 (paper). In what has become a perverse annual ritual for some academic associations, the American Historical Association (AHA) voted on two anti-Israel resolutions at its January 2020 meeting, which would have singled out Israel for condemnation for supposedly restricting educational access to Palestinian Arabs. Both resolutions were, fortunately, voted down by the membership, but the fact that such anti-Israel votes—part of the worldwide Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against the Jewish state—even exist represents a challenge to academia since free academic inquiry and debate have been degraded by this toxic movement. In not passing these resolutions the AHA thankfully avoided the intellectual hypocrisy that plagued the American Studies [End Page 209] Association and other academic associations whose memberships have voted to introduce boycotts against Israel, contributing to the cognitive war against Israel that has infected the Academy and corrupted teaching and research in the social sciences and humanities—especially in Middle East Studies departments. While much of the anti-Israel activism on campuses is fomented by students in organizations such as Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), the contortion of scholarship, academic boycotts, and the publication of journal articles and books as weaponized scholarship against the Jewish state is the purview of faculty, and some of the prominent members of the professoriate are the subject of Cary Nelson's book, Israel Denial: Anti-Zionism, Anti-Semitism, & the Faculty Campaign Against the Jewish State. In this campaign, classrooms become places where propaganda defines learning, where faculty with a visceral loathing of the Jewish State promulgate pseudo-scholarship, historical contortions, factual inaccuracies, and even lies in their campaign to demonize, slander, and libel Israel with the goal of achieving social justice for the Palestinians. Nelson, who was President of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) between 2006 and 2012 and is Professor Emeritus of English and Jewish Culture and Society at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, is not a right-wing ideologue so the professors discussed here are criticized for their violations of academic integrity more so than their unrelenting hatred toward the Jewish state. "Israel Denial seeks to occupy a political space in which fierce opposition to BDS 'scholarship' is paired with practical proposals for how to make progress toward a two-state solution," Nelson wrote about his book, "a space in which teaching, writing, and public advocacy that promotes mutual understanding and offers practical solutions to the conflict can thrive" (Cary Nelson, "Israel and the Left: Three Studies of the Crisis: (3) Israel Denial and the University," Fathom [July 2019]). Like many in the Academy and elsewhere, Nelson seeks a two-state solution, and he has convinced himself that such an outcome is feasible, but only if, he contends, Israel can be encouraged to make significant concessions to the Palestinians to help them in [End Page 210] their campaign for self-determination. Nelson includes some discussion of those concessions at length here, as if to show that his condemnation of the anti-Israel professors he has cataloged in the book is not mere ideology on his part but part of a balanced and nuanced debate wherein all sides have to make concessions in order to achieve that elusive concept of "two states living side by side in peace." He contends, unlike many hardliners, that Jerusalem will need to be divided into capitals for each state, and even suggests that Hebron should be abandoned to Palestinian control in the name of peace—just as Gaza was in 2005. Many on the Right would of course reject both of these extraordinarily significant concessions on the part of Israel, but Nelson includes these (and other solutions, such as a whole chapter in which he discusses a proposed course in Palestinian and Israeli poetry to examine and understand two competing but equally valid narratives to create mutual understanding) as a contrast to the manner in which the BDS proponents he...

Висвітлення галузевої проблеми апробації наукових результатів у наукометричних базах Scopus і Web of Science

The article is devoted to the study of problematic aspects in the publication of materials in journals indexed in the scientometric databases Scopus and Web of Science by scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers. The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine believes that it is not necessary to rely on quantitative indicators (it is even necessary to abandon them), and the place of publication of the article should be unimportant. At the same time, the Ministry of Education and Science establishes norms according to which it is impossible to obtain a scientific title, academic degree and be a member of a specialized scientific council without publications in scientometric databases Web of Science and / or Scopus. In the field of social communications (journalism) the problem is exacerbated by the fact that in Ukraine there are no professional journals that would be included in such scientometric databases. The purpose of the study is to identify and describe the components of the modern problem of approbation of scientific results in scientometric databases Scopus and Web of Science (in the field of «journalism»). To achieve this goal, we set the following tasks: to analyze the regulations, which contain instructions / advice / guidelines / standards for publication in the journals of the database Scopus and Web of Science; to identify the attitude of scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers working in the field of «journalism» to the problem of approbation of scientific results in such journals; identify motives and obstacles to the publication of articles in indexed journals. The main result of the article is to highlight the following problematic aspects: ambiguous position and strategy of the state to measure the quantity and quality of scientific papers; lack of encouragement of scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers to publish in indexed publications with simultaneous compulsion to publish there; high cost of publication and lack of any support from the state in publishing articles; low quality of scientific works submitted to such publications and non-recognition of this problem by the community.

Editorial

Welcome to the start of the 2021 volume (Volume 9) of the Journal of the British Academy, our multi- and interdisciplinary journal publishing articles in the humanities and social sciences. It was in 2013 that the British Academy added to its academic publishing portfolio �an open access online journal that would meet the expectations of modern scholars and be more easily available for new readerships�. The Journal of the British Academy has continued the tradition of publishing articles drawn from the Academy�s own programme of lectures. But in the last few months of 2020 the Journal extended its range of content to include important contributions on the COVID-19 pandemic drawn from other Academy research and policy programmes. These articles demonstrate the expanded vision that we now have for the Journal of the British Academy. We are looking to strengthen the Journal as a platform for high-quality informed comment by scholars working in the humanities and social sciences, on matters of political, social and cultural interest. It will tap new and exciting thinking and research. It will provide space for reflection on current scholarship, and the exploration of new areas. It will highlight the international range of the British Academy�s interests.

Peningkatan Pengetahuan Ibu Hamil Tentang Skrinning HIV/AIDS Melalui Audiovisual di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Andalas

In addition to preventing problems for pregnant women and their babies, the aim of quality antenatal care is to detect the emergence of these problems early and avoid negative impacts on health. This includes HIV infection. HIV prevalence in pregnant women is projected to increase from 0.38% (2012) to 0.49% (2016). Data for pregnant women infected with HIV at Puskesmas Andalas in 2017 was in the range of 1,600. It is known that data on the implementation of VCT at Puskesmas Andalas, in 2017 (January - Jun 2017) there were only 250 VCT patients, consisting of 224 pregnant women and 26 non-pregnant women, meaning that in the working area of ​​the Andalas Puskesmas only 14% of pregnant women participated to do an HIV test (VCT). Therefore, it is necessary to have community service activities to increase knowledge about HIV / AIDS screening in pregnant women. The results of the activity were counseling to 6 pregnant women from 10 target people in the Pustu Sarang Gagak Andalas Village, Padang. The output is in the form of publication of articles in public service journals that are E-ISSN and nationally accredited, social media and increasing knowledge about HIV / AIDS screening of pregnant women.

A review of research progress and projection of future publication trend amongst the science stream academics of University of Jaffna, Sri Lanka

An increase in emphasis on research productivity evaluation can be discerned commonly in higher educational institutions world over. As far as the Faculty of Science, University of Jaffna is concerned such an in depth study had not been done. This bibliometric study analyzed the research publications produced by the academics of Faculty of Science, University of Jaffna. The objective of this study is to empirically measure the research output during the time period of 2003 to 2018 to find out the department wise output, year wise publication output, authorship pattern and degree of collaboration, media of research communication, relative growth rate, doubling time and to forecast future publication trend of academics. The year wise publication output shows an increasing pattern. But the output growth is not uniform. Findings revealed that Faculty of Science has produced 1359 publications with an annual average of 85 and with the maximum of 139 during the study period. The highest number of publications is from the Department of Zoology (22%). The Department of Botany shows second highest number with 21% of the publications. The lowest number is from the Department of Fisheries (4%). The research output from departments of Physics, Mathematics and Statistics, and Chemistry are more or less the same. Mean value of the degree of collaboration of authors during the overall sixteen years is found to be 0.84. Single author publications are less (15%) than collaborative effort (85%). Abstract form of publications is more in number 836 (61%). Journal article is 501 (37%) and Book form is 22 (2%). A uniform dropping pattern was observed in the mean relative growth rate (RGR) from 0.439 to 0.122 considering four year blocks from 2003 to 2018. The mean doubling time showed an increasing tendency through each consecutive block of four year period. It ranged from 0.89 in the first block to 5.80 in the last block of a total of sixteen year time span. The forecast for 2025 based on least square estimate the number of publications should be 186 if status remains unchanged. Thus Faculty of Science has to endeavor and orient their research efforts more towards publishing journal articles than short communications and giving priority towards interdisciplinary research to obtain greater impacts with the vision of establishing excellence of the institution.

Socialization of Tofu Liquid Waste Management (Whey Tofu) Becomes Biogas as Alternative Energy Reserves in the Framework of Creating an Environmentally Friendly Industry


 Arya Jaya is a trading business that is engaged in making tofu. UD. Arya Jaya began operations in 2003, by Mrs. Siti Aisyah. UD. Arya Jaya is in Bukkolan Village RT.01 RW.01 Paowan Village / Panarukan District Situbondo Regency East Java Province. To run this business, Mrs. Siti Aisyah was assisted by 12 workers.
 
 At UD. Arya Jaya, so far the tofu wastewater has never been used and treated but has been discharged into the river. As a result, various cases of environmental pollution that make a negative impact on public health occur a lot.
 Community service activities are also intended to train and foster communities around the tofu industry and tofu entrepreneurs so that they have knowledge about the utilization of tofu liquid waste and can improve skills around 75% to process tofu liquid waste into biogas in processing tofu liquid waste into biogas so it is expected With good management of the waste produced by the tofu making industry, it will add value to the product and be more environmentally friendly. In addition, the management of tofu wastewater in a waste to product manner can efficiently cost the costs, materials used, and energy to make new products from waste raw materials. Besides that, entrepreneurs know that they will no longer be difficult to deal with their waste.
 Based on the situation analysis above, the PKM Team together with UD. Arya Jaya seeks to overcome the problem referred to as "The Socialization of Tofu Liquid Waste Management (Whey Tofu) Becoming Biogas As an Alternative Energy Reserve in the Framework of Creating an Environmentally Friendly Industry". The activity that will be carried out has very good prospects and is expected to provide information about the processing of tofu industrial wastewater using anaerobic biodigester technology for biogas production. For tofu industry entrepreneurs, the processing of various wastes can be converted into biogas into added value. By paying attention to environmental problems caused by the disposal of potentially polluting waste, the existence of anaerobic biodigester technology can provide economic and ecological value while reducing the potential for disposal. In addition, it can reduce the effects of pollution resulting in the greenhouse effect.
 The final target and output are the publication of scientific articles in journals or proceedings in national community service seminars and newspaper article publications in national newspapers.

GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT PRACTICES: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Evidence that green supply chain management is one of the best practices contributing to economic and environmental performance has been acknowledged in the literature. The purpose of this study is to review 100 articles on green supply chain management practices from the year 2000 until the year 2019. A content analysis methodology was employed to classify the articles. Approximately 100 articles on green supply chain management practices were analysed using SPSS 22 to determine the frequency and percentage in the year of study, dimensions of green supply chain management practices, geographical area, and types of methodology. The results show that numerous articles were published in the year 2015, green purchasing is the most common dimension discussed by researchers, the highest publication is in Asia, and the most common research method is empirical (survey/cross-sectional) approach. Supply Chain Management is the top journal publishing articles on green supply chain management practices. The originality of this paper is to systematically review 100 articles on green supply chain management practices using content analysis methodology, which has been overlooked by previous researches. Future studies may analyse types of theory, objectives, and the findings of different articles to get a better picture of green supply chain management practices trend.

Are peer reviews of grant proposals reliable? An analysis of Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funding applications

ABSTRACT Peer review is widely used throughout academia, most notably in the publication of journal articles and the allocation of research grants. Yet peer review has been subject to much criticism, including being slow, unreliable, subjective and potentially prone to bias. This paper contributes to this literature by investigating the consistency of peer reviews and the impact they have upon a high-stakes outcome (whether a research grant is funded). Analysing data from 4,000 social science grant proposals and 15,000 reviews, this paper illustrates how the peer review scores assigned by different reviewers have only low levels of consistency (a correlation between reviewer scores of only 0.2). Reviews provided by “nominated reviewers” (i.e. reviewers selected by the grant applicant) appear to be overly generous and do not correlate with the evaluations provided by independent reviewers. Yet a positive review from a nominated reviewer is strongly linked to whether a grant is awarded. Finally, a single negative peer review is shown to reduce the chances of a proposal being funding from around 55% to around 25% (even when it has otherwise been rated highly).

Publication Patterns of Counselor Educators at Comprehensive Universities

The authors examined the publication patterns of 821 counselor educators across 174 comprehensive universities for the years 2008 through 2017. Nearly half of the sample did not have any journal article publications, and the median number of publications was 1. Several institutional variables were useful for predicting article publication counts.

A Cautionary Tale for Psychology and Higher Education in Asia: Following Western Practices of Incentivising Scholarship May Have Negative Outcomes

Cases of scientific fraud and research misconduct in general have escalated in Western higher education over the last 20 years. These practices include forgery, distortion of facts and plagiarism, the outright faking of research results and thriving black markets for positive peer reviews and ghost-written papers. More recently, the same abuses have found their way into Asian higher education with some high profile and widely covered cases in India, South Korea, China and Japan. Reports of misconduct are now reaching alarming proportions in Asia, and the negative consequences for individuals, institutions, governments and society at large are incalculable. The incentives for academic scientists in Asia are approaching and even surpassing those ordinarily seen in the West. Cash payments for publishing articles in high impact journals can double or even triple yearly salaries in some cases. Combining this environment with the simultaneous pressure to obtain oftentimes scarce funding for research has produced a culture of unethical behaviour worldwide. This article assesses three important issues regarding scientific fraud and research misconduct: distorted incentives for research and overreliance upon metrics, damage to the integrity of higher education and public trust and improving research environments so as to deter unethical behaviour. This is especially crucial for emerging Asian countries, in particular Association for Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), whose scientific infrastructure is less developed, but nonetheless has the potential to become a major player in the development of psychology as well as Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) research and training.

Cabaran Pelestarian Bahasa Melayu Menjelang Revolusi Industri Keempat

This article analyses the challenges in preserving the Malay language as we head into the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The discussion begins with the history of the concept of Industry 4.0, including the "Kondratiev waves", followed by a theoretical discussion about the relation between the major changes that will take place in technology, language, culture and politics. The emergence of Industry 4.0 has been promoted by the German government in response to their waning role in the global economy as a result of the rapid development of the Chinese economy, as well as that of other non-English-speaking or non-Anglosphere countries. The position of Malay and Bahasa Indonesia in Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei is expected to remain an important one as long as the economic development of these three countries is maintained. The concept of Industry 4.0, that is, a combination of the "Internet of Things" with the "Internet of Services" provides much opportunity for users in Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei to continue speaking Malay. The implications of this for the higher education system are to increase the employability of students in the era of Industry 4.0 in several ways, including: (1) enriching its scientific and technological terminology; (2) increasing the wealth of resources in Malay through publication of journal articles and books that suit the Industry 4.0 era; (3) teaching all subjects in colleges and universities in Malay. In other words, Malay it is imperative that Malay be made the language of Industry 4.0 discourse.
